Bradley Wiggins’ custom painted Pinarello Dogma F8 on display at London Bike show

Wiggo F8 edition limited to just 25 frames, plus other new colours for 2015 spring range unveiled at the show

Unveiled at the Tour of Qatar and now taking centre stage at the London Bike Show, Bradley Wiggins’ custom painted Pinarello Dogma F8 features a special paint job commemorating his many victories with roundels along the top tube, World Champion rainbow stripes and lashings of gold paint. And his eyes on the side of the top tube.

This isn't his actual race bike of course, but one of just 25 frames that Pinarello distributor Yellow tell us they’ll be bringing into the country. Time to form an orderly queue then, we doubt the frames will be sitting still long enough to gather dust.

Although the frame is being displayed built up at the show, the limited edition frame will be sold as a frameset only, allowing the customer to build it to their own specification. The frameset will cost £3,899, the same as a regular F8. Anyone spending this sort of money is going to have a particular set of parts and components they'll want to sling on it.

If you wanted to replicate the bike raced by Wiggins at the Tour of Qatar, you’ll need a Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset, C75 carbon fibre tubular wheels and PRO finishing kit, with a 130mm negative rise stem. Add some white bar tape, Speedplay pedal and Fizik saddle to get a replica build.

If you can’t see yourself turning up to your club run on this frameset, and we don't blame you, Pinarello were showing several other less limited paint options at the show, which look rather splendid. Above is the Sky Orange option, and below is the Green Orange flavour. 

Wiggo is no stranger to custom painted frames, he received this special time trial bike a couple of years ago.

We also spotted this rather nice Razha K, a carbon frame and fork with mounts and clearance for proper full-length mudguards. It costs £1950 and comes with a Shimano 105 11-speed groupset and Fulcrum wheels.

Custom graphics aside - I do think that the F8 frame does suit the white paint job very well - looks much nicer than the regular black.

Mudguards on a Pinarello seems a bit like a towbar on a Ferrari.

I rather like the "Sky Orange" paintjob.
